To All Area Hockey
Coaches, Parents and Skaters:
The Indiana World Skating Academy (IWSA) is
pleased to present the IWSA All Seasons Youth Hockey School. In
response to overwhelming demand from area coaches, skaters and parents, a custom
curriculum has been developed to meet the needs of area hockey skaters and
coaches who wish to advance their skating knowledge and skills into a
competitive advantage year round.
The fourth 8 week
block of lessons will begin March 4, 2010 and will run thru April 21, 2010.
Beginner thru advanced hockey skating and edge skills will be taught on
Wednesday evenings for Mites thru Midget levels (ages 7– 18). The focus of
the IWSA Hockey School is to develop edge quality and turning
excellence that will maximize technical efficiency in three key areas;
velocity, quickness and agility.
Each 8 week block of classes is priced at
$85.00 for those who pre-register at least one week before the start of class.
After that date, the regular cost will be $95.00 per 8 week session and will be
pro-rated for players who join the class during any 8 week period. Class time
is from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM Wednesday evenings. Skaters will be given a minimum
of 1 hour of instruction with the
remaining non-lesson time being for practice.
Special Notes:
Coaches can arrange for custom skating
instruction for their entire team by contacting Pam Robinson at 237-5565.
